Faculty Of Biotechnology Poster Discussion Session

The faculty of biotechnology just held the poster discussion session for 168 students enrolled in the Industrial projects course which included a demonstration of the student’s individual projects in all fields of biotechnology. The students’ projects were mainly proposed biotechnological ventures aimed at solving persisting industrial issues, introducing novel applications as well as advancements or enhancements to preexisting ones. Each student has three examiners to evaluate the poster.

The projects included ones in the field of environmental biotechnology such as our student “Rana Maen” who presented a project that focused on use of industrial wastes specifically lemon peels for the generation of biodegradable plastics. Another student “Mohamed Ashraf” presented his project in the field of medical biotechnology which focused on using liposomes as delivery vehicles for the treatment of glioblastoma.

Many students focused on food biotechnology such “Alaa Eldien Tarek” with the idea of supplementing yogurt with nutritional supplements to improve digestion. Another projects included ones in the field of pharmaceutical biotechnology such as our student “Amr Ahmed” with a project proposing the use of nanoparticles for the treatment of dental decay. It is worthy to note that the poster session is one of many requirements for the course and it is a yearly tradition that is usually the highlight where all students get to reap the fruits of their labor.
